Hopefully folks can just check out both sites, or any others, and decide what's the best fit for them personally, and enjoy spending their time there. Sometimes even a combination of the different forums works well for some people... But we'd like to think of ourselves here at JD as a community that just wants to enjoy the positive, knowledgeable, and friendly vibe that we've carefully developed here, rather than talking down about any of our online neighbors, as fun or therapeutic as it may be. Hopefully that's the style we can shoot for anyways. I know that can be hard sometimes, especially at a time like this, and it's something that we all should work on as part of the JediDefender collecting family...

Anyways, that's just my thoughts on the matter...

you should go into politics

The secret of success is to know something nobody else knows-Aristotle Onasis

It is natural for us that have gripes with another place to want to get said gripes off of our chest. So, I do apologize that we are griping on your boards about another board, but, when our gripes at the other board are A. Locked, B. Deleted, C. Banned, D. fall on deaf ears, we feel we need to get our gripes out somewhere.

I'm sure you understand. Its therapeutic if you will.

So, please bear with us as we make the transistion from one place to another and we will try to get all of our griping out of the way in an orderly fashion. Thanks.

P.S. Josheeeeeeeeeeeee, please point me to some good things to do on the internet while sitting at work with little else to do. I'm running out of stuff to do!

Some suggestions from me: www.pvponline.com Read it from the beginning of the archives. That is like, 3 years worth of comic strips to read. Good stuff.

www.userfriendly.org is another good one. They also have some links to some other good web comics, life of riley and nodstrom being two that I can think of right off hand. Then there is www.snopes.com Reading about urban legends. Ummm, I'm going to play star wars galaxies, so I like to play on those forums. www.comics.com for lots of newspaper comic strips. www.neopets.com may seem like a kiddy site, but, they have a lot of games, and most of them are based on older atari style games. Ok, thats it.

I am so happy that I was invited to JD. Those people over there at Rebelscum were meanies. That's right they were meanies <sniff, sniff wipes tears from face>! But now that I've found JD my sad frown has turned upside down! I am happy! So happy and free

Just joking around a bit. I like Rebelscum but for whatever reason it started turning into a fight fest and this place does not seem to have that undercurrent. Not yet anyway. So, I'm sticking around here for the majority of my Star Wars pleasure time.

I was over at RS oday, and it sounds like people are starting to rebel against GNT. That place is just turning into a war zone.

One of the main reasons I'm leaving is the politics. For example, we can be talking about movies or something, and somebody will crack a political joke. Another member will take that joke seriously, and we'll have a political debate in a soon to be locked thread. I alsoheard about the trading rule. It doesn't affect me since I don't trade, but I think it is kinda unfair also.

Edit by JediMAC:Venting a few RS frustrations is fine - to a limited degree, but some of this stuff is going a little overboard and is dragging JD's friendly and positive vibe way down. Let's try to keep the RS criticisms at least somewhat decent and constructive, if they must be made at all. Thanks!

I notice a particularly strong resolve here to keep this place clean with respect all around at all times.

That is the reason why I'm here, to avoid flames, concentrate on Star Wars, and for the fresh start.

This place will stay clean as long as we want it to. RS is too far gone right now to enjoy. Unless you want to stay there for the Jerry Springer atmosphere.

I dont know, im only here because someone said this place was cool. But im still sticking with RS. Ive made a lot of friends there and met up with some really cool people from my area from those boards. But im always up for doing 2 message boards at once
